The Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the Colossus of Rhodes, the Great Pyramids of Egypt, the lighthouse at Pharos; these are the one off the top of my head. See Wikipedia for the others: Mausoleum, temple of Artemis, statue of Zeus; and the lighthouse was at Alexandria. I guess Pharos means lighthouse.
