Pick the world's seven new wonders

In less than twenty days there will be a new version of the Seven Wonders of the World, a list that has always captured the imagination of travellers. It will be drawn up on the basis of more than 50 million votes cast from people in almost 200 countries.

The New7Wonders Foundation was launched seven years ago by a Swiss entrepreneur, Bernard Weber, a man with a passion for architecture and the visual arts and a former curator at Le Corbusier Museum in Zurich.



In addition to attempting to reach agreement on the seven new wonders, Weber's foundation aims to raise awareness of heritage sites and fund restoration projects.

There's a slideshow showing the 21 contenders here.
