Let \(M\) be a compact locally symmetric space of nonpositive curvature and without Euclidean factor. In this paper it is shown that the geodesic flow on a \(M\) has a unique invariant measure of maximal entropy. This generalizes the rank one case proved by the same author in [Ann. Math. (2) 148, No. 1, 291--314 (1998; Zbl 0946.53045)], therefore only the higher rank case needs to be considered here. This is a consequence of a similar result for orbits of vectors in the interior of spherical Weil chambers (defined from the flats, in the higher rank case). As an application, closed geodesics are uniformly distributed with respect to this measure of maximal entropy.
