genius loci the presiding god or spirit of a particular place; originally with reference to Virgil
Aeneid ‘He prays to the spirit of the place and to Earth’; later with
genius taken as referring to the body of associations connected with or inspirations derived from a place, rather than to a tutelary deity.
Alexander Pope in
Epistles to Several Persons (1731) has a related phrase, ‘Consult the genius of the place in all.’
