You may know about the 7 Wonders of the Ancient World. Only one - the Great Pyramid at Giza - still stands. So, Swiss film producer and aviator Bernard Weber launched a global voting campaign to let you, and millions of other people, create a NEW list. Unlike the list of Ancient Wonders, the New 7 Wonders list includes both ancient and modern structures from every part of the world.

From the hundreds of recommendations, architects Zaha Hadid, Tadao Ando, Cesar Pelli, and other expert judges selected 21 finalists. Then, voters around the world picked the top seven New Wonders of the World.

The New 7 Wonders of the World were announced in Lisbon, Portugal on Saturday, July 7, 2007. Shown below are the winners and also the finalists in the New 7 Wonders of the World campaign.
