      This paper considers the problem of classifying Tits geometries of type \(C_ 3\). The only known example of such a geometry, that is not a building or a quotient of such, is the so called \({\mathcal A}_ 7.\) The author gives a construction which associates to the Klein quadric over a certain field a Tits geometry of type \(C_ 3\), so that for the field of two elements the corresponding geometry is \({\mathcal A}_ 7.\) Vice versa, to any Tits geometry S of type \(C_ 3\), that is not a building, it is associated a partial linear space \(\pi\), such that if \(\pi\) is the Klein quadric S is obtained by the construction mentioned before.
