Tujuh Keajaiban Dunia Purba

Tujuh Keajaiban Dunia Purba ialah senarai pembinaan klasik yang diberikan oleh pelbagai penulis dalam buku panduan atau puisi yang terkenal di kalangan pelancong Helenik purba. Walaupun senarai itu, dalam bentuknya sekarang, tidak menstabilkan hingga Renaissance, senarai pertama tujuh keajaiban yang pertama kali dari abad ke-1 SM. Senarai asal mengilhamkan versi yang tidak terhitung sejak zaman, sering menyenaraikan tujuh kemasukan. Daripada Tujuh Keajaiban yang asal, hanya satu—Piramid Besar Giza (juga dikenali sebagai Piramid Khufu, selepas firaun yang membinanya), yang tertua dalam keajaiban kuno-tetap kekal utuh. Patung Raksasa Rhodes, Rumah Api Iskandariah, Makam di Halicarnassus, Kuil Artemis dan Patung Zeus semuanya musnah. Lokasi dan takdir terakhir Taman Tergantung tidak diketahui, dan ada spekulasi bahawa mereka mungkin tidak wujud sama sekali.
