What locations are there that could be called a “Wonder of the World”, whether natural or person-made?

Just curious.

Like, do you mean for Golarion? Or the really Real world? Or, like, is this a list like a Goth Guru thread of all kinds of generic sites that COULD be considered World Wonders? I don't understand.

I mean, official locations, that actually exist in the game without homebrew. This could include Earth, if you really want to, I guess, but only world war 1 Earth, since that is the state Earth is in when it showed up as a setting in that one Adventure Path I won’t name on the very off chance someone hasn’t played it and doesn’t want to be spoiled.

I don’t want to limit it just to Golarion though, since Pathfinder has a lot of interesting locations that aren’t there, or, at least, I think they are interesting, even with my limited knowledge of them, like the City of Brass on the Plane of Fire.

I just want magnificent, already made locations, that would be labeled “Wonders of the World”, like how Mt Everest and the Grand Canyon are both on CNN’s list of the 7 Natural Wonders of the World.

The Eye of Abendego hurricane would probably be on the list... given the interest Earth scientists have in Jupiter's permenant storm.

Well, I guess... Rift Canyon in Greyhawk, or Valley of the Mage in the same setting; The Temple of the Starstone or The Worldwound in Golarion; Undermountain in Forgotten Realms. I don't know that Ravenloft has any "wonders" to speak of. I don't know Eberron or the Dragonlance setting too well. In the Frog God Games setting of the Lost Lands, I'd dare say Rappan Athuk, though that might not be "wonderful" enough.

The scale of Golarion's potential wonders rather dwarfs Earth's. The Irespan Bridge is far bigger than any of the ancient wonders bar the Pyramids, for example, and Osirion has dozens of pyramids that dwarf that.

The Pit of Gormuz? Half the architecture of Thassilon? The Silver Mount? Shory flying cities? It goes on.

[Steve Geddes]

Lots of Thassilonian relics would count, I think. Maybe the big dead bug looming over Sothis?

What about Hollow Mountain? Isn't it basically the Golarian equivalent of Mount Rushmoore?

Mystara has Floating Ar, where one dude took basically all the mountains in his country and turned them in to floating islands.

There's Haven
That rainbow thing is the Rainbow Promenade
"It features two sets of seven colossal statues, each receiving and shooting back a massive beam of magical light. At the points where they gather, the colored beams coalesce into a rainbow that arches high across the entire region, nearly as far as Mystara’s skyshield"

So basically a rainbow that reaches almost to space.
