The author adapts the construction of a projective symmetric space which is not projectively homogeneous presented by \textit{F. Podestà} in [Bull. Soc. Math. Fr. 117, No. 3, 343--360 (1989; Zbl 0697.53047)], for the context of contact projective symmetries. They obtain a contact projective manifold which is non-homogeneous but carries a contact projective symmetry at each of its points. From the viewpoint of symmetric parabolic geometries, both constructions are relevant since they give as result the only known examples of symmetric parabolic geometries which are not homogeneous.
