They include follies, forts, manor houses, mills, cottages, castles, gatehouses and towers. You can stay in any of these buildings."

The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World
From the site: "Although most people know that a list exists of the Seven World Wonders, only few can name them..... Today, archaeological evidence reveals some of the mysteries that surrounded the history of the Wonders for centuries. For their builders, the Seven Wonders were a celebration of religion, mythology, art, power, and science. For us, they reflect the ability of humans to change the surrounding landscape by building massive yet beautiful structures, one of which stood the test of time to this very day."
