ancient wonder
Old world spectacle
Ancient wonder refers to a remarkable structure or monument from antiquity, especially one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World—the Great Pyramid, Hanging Gardens of Babylon, and five others, only one of which survives.
More broadly, any awe-inspiring creation from the distant past: The temple complex remains an ancient wonder.
The phrase emphasizes both age and the capacity to inspire amazement.
