    A connected closed Riemannian manifold \((M,g)\) is said to be a Blaschke manifold if the cut locus of each of its points, when viewed in the tangent space, is a round sphere of constant radius. The well-known Blaschke conjecture says that any Blaschke manifold, up to a homothety, is isometric to the compact rank one symmetric space (CROSS) [\textit{A. L. Besse}, Manifolds all of whose geodesics are closed, Ergeb. Math. Grenzgeb. 93 (Berlin 1978; Zbl 0387.53010)]. The main purpose of this paper is to prove that any Blaschke manifold of the homotopy type of \(CP^ n\) has right volume, i.e. \[ \text{vol }M=({\ell\over 2\pi})^{2n}{2n-1\choose n-1}\text{vol }S^{2n}, \] where \(\ell\) denotes the length of closed geodesics in \(M\).
