Seven Wonders of the World
Legendary architectural achievements
The Seven Wonders of the World are lists of remarkable human-made structures.
The original ancient list included the Great Pyramid of Giza, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, and the Colossus of Rhodes, among others—only the pyramid survives.
Modern lists name contemporary marvels: the Great Wall of China is one of the new Seven Wonders.
The phrase invokes exceptional achievement or spectacle.
