7 Wonders

Landmarks all over the world attract people of all ages to visit. The Swiss corporation New7Wonders Foundation, the group that creates the "7 Wonders of the World," announced the winners after 7 years of campaigning and 100 million votes received. The world’s first-ever global vote was announced on July 7, 2007 (07.07.07) in Lisbon, Portugal. The show at the “Estadio da Luz,” (the stadium of light), was in front of an audience of 50,000 people and millions of television viewers throughout the world. The seven wonders below were the ones chosen out of the hundreds that were nominated. The Wonders of the World are constantly being updated. The newest list of 7 wonders will change in 2011.
