This paper is the proposal for a metric, called Calabimetric, on the space of Kähler metrics of a closed manifold. The main results are Theorems 1 and 4. The first Theorem: Let \((M, \omega )\) be a closed Kähler manifold. The Calabi metric admits the Levi Civita covariant derivative; its sectional curvature is positive, constant and equal to \(s=\frac{1}{4Vol}\), where \(Vol \) is the volume of the manifold \(M\). As a consequence, the space of Kähler metrics is a locally symmetric space. The last part of Theorem 4 is as follows: The space of Kähler metrics is a metric space with distance function real analytic. Geodesics are minimum points for the length functional. Moreover, the diameter of the space is \(\frac{\pi R}{2}\), where the sectional curvature is related to \(R\) by \(s=\frac{1}{R^2}\).
