marvels
Objects of awe
Marvels are things that inspire wonder or astonishment—extraordinary phenomena that exceed ordinary expectations: the marvels of modern medicine, architectural marvels.
To marvel is to feel such wonder: She marveled at the view.
The word carries positive connotations of admiration rather than mere surprise.
