****************************

Then there are list of Seven Wonders of the Middle Ages about which no one seems to agree on the final list.
Typically representative of the seven:
Stonehenge
Colosseum
Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa
Great Wall of China
Porcelain Tower of Nanjing
Hagia Sophia
Leaning Tower of Pisa
Other sites that have been mentioned include:
Cairo Citadel
Ely Cathedral
Taj Mahal
Cluny Abbey
***************************************************
[from Wikipedia.org]
In the tradition of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, many other lists of wonders have been proposed, including both human feats of engineering and wonders of Nature. However, these lists are rather informal, and there is no consensus on any particular list.

The American Society of Civil Engineers compiled another list of wonders of the modern world:[10]

Channel Tunnel
CN Tower
Empire State Building
Golden Gate Bridge
Itaipu Dam
Delta Works
Panama Canal

The following list of the top seven tourist travel wonders (not including pilgrimages) was compiled by Hillman Wonders:

Great Pyramids of Giza
Great Wall of China
Taj Mahal
Serengeti Migration
Galapagos
Grand Canyon
Machu Picchu

Similar to the other lists of wonders, there is no consensus on a list of seven natural wonders of the world, as there has been debate over how large the list should be. One of the many lists was compiled by CNN:

[Seven Natural Wonders of the World]
Grand Canyon
Great Barrier Reef
Harbor of Rio de Janeiro
Mount Everest
Polar Aurora
Parícutin volcano
Victoria Falls

AND

Underwater wonders
This list of underwater wonders is of unknown origin but has been repeated sufficiently often to acquire a degree of notability:[13] [14]

Palau
Belize Barrier Reef
Great Barrier Reef
Deep-Sea Vents
Galapagos Islands
Lake Baikal
Northern Red Sea

In 2006 a couple of organizations proposed a new list -

New Seven Wonders of the World
Potala Palace - Lhasa, Tibet
Old City of Jerusalem
Polar Ice Caps
Northwestern Hawaiian Islands National Monument
Internet
Mayan ruins
Great Migration of Serengeti and Masai Mara
Grand Canyon (viewer-chosen "eighth wonder")
