In the 3rd century BC, the Chief Librarian of the Library in Alexandria compiled a list of "Wonders of the World," but the list we go by today was compiled during the Middle Ages.

By the time the list was compiled, many of the Wonders had been reduced to rubble, but they live on in legend all the same.

Two of the Wonders are in Aegean Turkey:

Temple of Artemis at Ephesus:

Artemis Temple, Ephesus, Turkey

Mausoleum of Halicarnassus (Bodrum)

The others are:

Great Pyramid at Giza (Egypt)

Colossus of Rhodes (Greece)

Lighthouse (Pharos) of Alexandria (Egypt)

The Hanging Gardens of Babylon (Iraq)

Statue of Zeus at Olympia (Greece)


Ephesus

Bodrum
