Inspired by Italo Calvino's Città invisibili, we wonder if a city of mathematics exists among them, or in other literary and philosophical works, or in reality, and if anything, what it is. Our journey will lead us from Plato to Leon Battista Alberti, from Perec to Escher, from Musil to the inevitable Gödel and many others, concluding with Hilbert and Grothendieck. With a perhaps surprising ending.
