contents Parallel to $\widetilde{\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{R})}$-geometry fibering over the hyperbolic plane, we construct a geometry fibering over the Siegel upper half-space $\mathrm{Sp}(2n,\mathbb{R})\curvearrowright {\mathfrak{H}}_n$, and provide a volume formula for some manifolds with this geometry. For $n=2$, a prototype is constructed via the normal bundle of an equivariant embedding into a Grassmannian manifold. It turns out that this geometry is the homogeneous space given by a central extension of $\widetilde{\mathrm{Sp}(2n,\mathbb{R})}$, modulo its maximal compact subgroup. After fixing a convention for the invariant measure, the volume of a "Seifert-like" closed manifold of this geometry is given by the length of the fiber circle times the Euler characteristic of the base manifold, up to a sign.
