'''''Invisible Cities''''' is a novel by Italian author Italo Calvino, who also wrote ''[[If on a winter's night a traveler]]''. Like all of Calvino's works, ''Invisible Cities'' is as much a puzzle box as a story: it plays with the concepts of language, imagination and communication.
The novel consists of [[The Travels of Marco Polo|Marco Polo]]'s descriptions of the many fantastic cities he has seen, delivered to an at first skeptical Kublai Khan. The cities are classified according to their nature: "Cities and the Dead", "Hidden Cities", "Cities and Eyes" etc. These short passages are interspersed with dialogues between the two men.

Oddly enough, it is ''not'' an example of [[The City]] or [[Urban Fantasy]].
