The Great Wall of China
The Great Wall of China
The Great Wall of China literally "ten thousand li long wall") is a series of fortifications that were built across the historical northern borders of ancient Chinese states and Imperial China as protection against various nomadic groups from the Eurasian Steppe. Several walls were built from as early as the 7th century BC,[4] with selective stretches later joined by Qin Shi Huang (220–206 BC), the first emperor of China. Little of the Qin wall remains.] Later on, many successive dynasties built and maintained multiple stretches of border walls. The best-known sections of the wall were built by the Ming dynasty (1368–1644). Apart from defense, other purposes of the Great Wall have included border controls, allowing the imposition of duties on goods transported along the Silk Road, regulation or encouragement of trade and the control of immigration and emigration.[6] Furthermore, the defensive characteristics of the Great Wall were enhanced by the construction of watchtowers, troop barracks, garrison stations, signaling capabilities through the means of smoke or fire, and the fact that the path of the Great Wall also served as a transportation corridor. The frontier walls built by different dynasties have multiple courses. Collectively, they stretch from Liaodong in the east to Lop Lake in the west, from the present-day Sino–Russian border in the north to Tao River (Taohe) in the south; along an arc that roughly delineates the edge of the Mongolian steppe; spanning 21,196.18 km (13,170.70 mi) in total. The defensive system of the Great Wall is generally recognized as one of the most impressive architectural feats in history.

Taj Mahal

THE TAJ MAHAL
The Taj Mahal 'Crown of the Palace') is an ivory-white marble mausoleum on the right bank of the river Yamuna in Agra, Uttar Pradesh, India. It was commissioned in 1631 by the fifth Mughal emperor, Shah Jahan to house the tomb of his beloved wife, Mumtaz Mahal; it also houses the tomb of Shah Jahan himself. The tomb is the centrepiece of a 17-hectare (42-acre) complex, which includes a mosque and a guest house, and is set in formal gardens bounded on three sides by a crenellated wall. The Taj Mahal was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983 for being "the jewel of Islamic art in India and one of the universally admired masterpieces of the world's heritage". It is regarded by many as the best example of Mughal architecture and a symbol of India's rich history. The Taj Mahal attracts around 5 million visitors a year, in 2007 it was declared a winner of the New 7 Wonders of the World (2000–2007) initiative. The Taj Mahal was constructed using materials from all over India and Asia. It is believed over 1,000 elephants were used to transport building materials. Some 22,000 labourers, painters, embroidery artists and stonecutters were used. The translucent white marble was brought from Makrana, Rajasthan, the jasper from the Punjab region, jade and crystal from China. The turquoise was from Tibet and the Lapis lazuli from Afghanistan, while the sapphire came from Sri Lanka and the carnelian from Arabia. In all, 28 types of precious and semi-precious stone were inlaid into the white marble

Christ the Redeemer
Christ the Redeemer is an Art Deco statue of Jesus Christ in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, created by French-Polish sculptor Paul Landowski and built by Brazilian engineer Heitor da Silva Costa, in collaboration with French engineer Albert Caquot. Romanian sculptor Gheorghe Leonida sculpted the face. Constructed between 1922 and 1931, the statue is 30 metres (98 ft) high, excluding its 8-metre (26 ft) pedestal. The arms stretch 28 metres (92 ft) wide. It is made of reinforced concrete and soapstone.[5] Christ The Redeemer differs considerably from its original design, as the initial plan was a large Christ with a globe in one hand and a cross in the other. Although the project organizers originally accepted the design, it later changed to the statue of today, with the arms spread out wide. The statue weighs 635 metric tons (625 long, 700 short tons), and is located at the peak of the 700-metre (2,300 ft) Corcovado mountain in the Tijuca National Park overlooking the city of Rio de Janeiro. This statue is the largest Art Deco style sculpture in the world. A symbol of Christianity around the world, the statue has also become a cultural icon of both Rio de Janeiro and Brazil and was voted one of the New 7 Wonders of the World.
Petra
The narrow passage (Siq) that leads to Petra
Al Khazneh, Petra, Jordan.
The Hadrian Gate also known as the Temenos Gate
The Theatre
Petra: Al-Batrāʾ, is a historic and archaeological city in southern Jordan. Famous for its rock-cut architecture and water conduit system, Petra is also called the "Rose City" because of the colour of the sandstonefrom which it is carved; it was famously called "a rose-red city half as old as time" in a poem of 1845 by John Burgon. It is adjacent to the mountain of Jabal Al-Madbah, in a basin surrounded by mountains forming the eastern flank of the Arabah valley running from the Dead Sea to the Gulf of Aqaba. Access to the city is through a famously picturesque 1.2-kilometre-long gorge called the Siq, which leads directly to the Khazneh. The area around Petra has been inhabited from as early as 7000 BC, and the Nabataeans might have settled in what would become the capital city of their kingdom as early as the 4th century BC. Archaeological work has only discovered evidence of Nabataean presence dating back to the second century BC, by which time Petra had become their capital. The Nabataeans were nomadic Arabs who invested in Petra's proximity to the incense trade routes by establishing it as a major regional trading hub. It has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1985. UNESCO has described Petra as "one of the most precious cultural properties of man's cultural heritage".In 2007, Petra was voted one of the New 7 Wonders of the World.Petra is a symbol of Jordan, as well as Jordan's most-visited tourist attraction. Excavations have demonstrated that it was the ability of the Nabataeans to control the water supply that led to the rise of the desert city, creating an artificial oasis. The area is visited by flash floods, but archaeological evidence shows that the Nabataeans controlled these floods by the use of dams, cisterns, and water conduits. These innovations stored water for prolonged periods of drought and enabled the city to prosper. Petra is known primarily for its Hellenistic architecture. The facades of the tombs in Petra are commonly rendered in Hellenistic style, reflecting the number of diverse cultures which the Nabataens traded, all of which were in turn influenced by Greek culture. Most of these tombs contain small burials niches carved into the stone.
Colosseum
The Christian Martyrs' Last Prayer
The Colosseum; Italian: is an elliptical amphitheatre in the centre of the city of Rome, Italy, just east of the Roman Forum. It is the largest ancient amphitheatre ever built, and is still the largest standing amphitheatre in the world, despite its age. Construction began under the emperor Vespasian (r. 69–79 AD) in 72 and was completed in AD 80 under his successor and heir, Titus (r. 79–81). Further modifications were made during the reign of Domitian (r. 81–96). The three emperors who were patrons of the work are known as the Flavian dynasty, and the amphitheatre was named the Flavian Amphitheatre (Latin: Amphitheatrum Flavium; Italian: Anfiteatro Flavio [aɱfiteˈaːtro ˈflaːvjo]) by later classicists and archaeologists for its association with their family name (Flavius). The Colosseum is built of travertine limestone, tuff (volcanic rock), and brick-faced concrete. It could hold an estimated 50,000 to 80,000 spectators at various points in its history, having an average audience of some 65,000, it was used for gladiatorial contests and public spectacles including animal hunts, executions, re-enactments of famous battles, and dramas based on Roman mythology, and briefly mock sea battles. The building ceased to be used for entertainment in the early medieval era. It was later reused for such purposes as housing, workshops, and quarters for a religious order, a fortress, a quarry, and a Christian shrine. The Colosseum is still a renowned symbol of Imperial Rome and was listed as one of the New 7 Wonders of the World. It is one of Rome's most popular tourist attractions and has links to the Catholic Church, as each Good Friday the Pope leads a torchlight "Way of the Cross" procession that starts in the area around the Colosseum. The Colosseum is depicted on the Italian version of the 5 euro cent coin. The Colosseum is generally regarded by Christians as a site of the martyrdom of large numbers of believers during the persecution of Christians in the Roman Empire, as evidenced by Church history and tradition. On the other hand, other scholars believe that the majority of martyrdoms may have occurred at other venues within the city of Rome, rather than at the Colosseum, citing a lack of still-intact physical evidence or historical records. These scholars assert that "some Christians were executed as common criminals in the Colosseum—their crime being refusal to reverence the Roman gods", but most Christian martyrs of the early Church were executed for their faith at the Circus Maximus. According to Irenaeus (died about 202), Ignatius of Antioch was fed to the lions in Rome around 107 A.D and although Irenaeus says nothing about this happening at the Colosseum, tradition ascribes it to that place.
Chichén Itzá was a large pre-Columbian city built by the Maya people of the Terminal Classic period. The archeological site is located in Tinúm Municipality, Yucatán State, Mexico. The site exhibits a multitude of architectural styles, reminiscent of styles seen in central Mexico and of the Puuc and Chenes styles of the Northern Maya lowlands. The presence of central Mexican styles was once thought to have been representative of direct migration or even conquest from central Mexico, but most contemporary interpretations view the presence of these non-Maya styles more as the result of cultural diffusion. The Maya name "Chichen Itza" means "At the mouth of the well of the Itza." This derives from chi', meaning "mouth" or "edge", and chʼen or chʼeʼen, meaning "well". Itzá is the name of an ethnic-lineage group that gained political and economic dominance of the northern peninsula. One possible translation for Itza is "enchanter (or enchantment) of the water," Chichén Itzá is located in the eastern portion of Yucatán state in Mexico. The northern Yucatán Peninsula is karst, and the rivers in the interior all run underground. There are four visible, natural sink holes, called cenotes, that could have provided plentiful water year round at Chichen, making it attractive for settlement. Of these cenotes, the "Cenote Sagrado" or "Sacred Cenote" (also variously known as the Sacred Well or Well of Sacrifice), is the most famous. In 2015, scientists determined that there is a hidden cenote under the Temple of Kukulkan, which has never been seen by archeologists. The Puuc-style architecture is concentrated in the Old Chichen area, and also the earlier structures in the Nunnery Group (including the Las Monjas, Annex and La Iglesia buildings); it is also represented in the Akab Dzib structure. The Puuc-style building feature the usual mosaic-decorated upper façades characteristic of the style but differ from the architecture of the Puuc heartland in their block masonry walls, as opposed to the fine veneers of the Puuc region proper.

Machu Picchu is a 15th-century Inca citadel located in the Eastern Cordillera of southern Peru on a 2,430-meter (7,970 ft) mountain ridge. Often referred to as the "Lost City of the Incas", it is the most familiar icon of the Inca Empire. It is located in the Machupicchu District within Urubamba Province above the Sacred Valley, which is 80 kilometers (50 mi) northwest of Cusco. The Urubamba River flows past it, cutting through the Cordillera and creating a canyon with a tropical mountain climate. Machu Picchu was declared a Peruvian Historic Sanctuary in 1982 and a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983.In 2007, Machu Picchu was voted one of the New Seven Wonders of the World in a worldwide internet poll. Machu Picchu was built in the classical Inca style, with polished dry-stone walls. Its three primary structures are the Temple of the Sun, the Temple of the Three Windows, and the Intihuatana. Most of the outlying buildings have been reconstructed in order to give visitors a better idea of how they originally appeared. By 1976, 30 percent of Machu Picchu had been restored and restoration continues. Most recent archaeologists believe that Machu Picchu was constructed as an estate for the Inca emperor Pachacuti (1438–1472). The Incas built the estate around 1450 but abandoned it a century later, at the time of the Spanish conquest. According to the new AMS radiocarbon dating, it was occupied from c. 1420–1532.Historical research published in 2022 claims that the site was probably called Huayna Picchu by the Inca people themselves, as it exists on the smaller peak of the same name
The Great Pyramid of Giza, largest and oldest of the three pyramids at the Giza Necropolis in Egypt and the only surviving of the original Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, was granted honorary status
Giza pyramid complex
The Giza pyramid complex (also called the Giza necropolis) in Egypt is home to the Great Pyramid, the Pyramid of Khafre, and the Pyramid of Menkaure, along with their associated pyramid complexes and the Great Sphinx. All were built during the Fourth Dynasty of the Old Kingdom of ancient Egypt, between c. 2600 – c. 2500 BC. The site also includes several temples, cemeteries, and the remains of a workers' village. The Great Pyramid and the Pyramid of Khafre are the largest pyramids built in ancient Egypt, and they have historically been common as emblems of Ancient Egypt in the Western imagination. They were popularised in Hellenistic times, when the Great Pyramid was listed by Antipater of Sidon as one of the Seven Wonders of the World. It is by far the oldest of the Ancient Wonders and the only one still in existence.

The Hanging Gardens of Babylon (Iraq)
The Hanging Gardens of Babylon, once considered one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, are believed to have been built in ancient Babylon (modern-day Iraq) around 600 BCE, possibly by King Nebuchadnezzar II for his queen, Amytis. These magnificent terraced gardens were said to overflow with exotic trees, plants, and flowers, creating the illusion of a lush, green mountain rising from the arid plains. However, no definitive archaeological evidence of their existence has ever been found. Many historians believe the gardens may have been destroyed by earthquakes or simply decayed over time, while others suggest they might have been located elsewhere, possibly in Nineveh. Today, the Hanging Gardens live on only in ancient texts and legends, symbolizing human creativity and the timeless fascination with beauty and nature.
The Statue of Zeus at Olympia (Greece)
Christone Holidays “Ancient Wonders”
The Statue of Zeus at Olympia, crafted by the famed Greek sculptor Phidias around 435 BCE, was a 13-meter-tall masterpiece made of ivory and gold, symbolizing the power and majesty of the god Zeus. It stood inside the grand Temple of Zeus at Olympia, with Zeus depicted seated on a throne, holding a small statue of Nike (the goddess of victory) in one hand and a scepter topped with an eagle in the other. Revered as one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, it embodied the height of Greek artistry and religious devotion. The statue was lost to history centuries later, most likely destroyed by fire, either at the temple or after being moved to Constantinople. The Statue of Zeus at Olympia, Greece Once towering within the Temple of Zeus, this magnificent statue stood as one of the greatest creations of the ancient world. Crafted by the master sculptor Phidias, it depicted Zeus seated in majesty, adorned with gold and ivory — a symbol of divine power and artistic genius. Though it no longer exists today, having been destroyed by fire or earthquake around the 5th or 6th century CE after the temple’s closure by Emperor Theodosius II, its legacy endures. Ancient coins and vivid descriptions by classical writers preserve the memory of its splendor, offering glimpses of what once inspired awe across Greece and beyond. At Christone Holidays, we take you to Olympia, where echoes of this wonder still linger — among the ruins, olive groves, and the birthplace of the Olympic spirit. Here, history feels close enough to touch, and imagination bridges what time has taken away.
The Temple of Artemis at Ephesus (Turkey)

The Colossus of Rhodes (Greece)
“Where Legends Once Stood Tall – Discover the Glory of Rhodes with Christone Holidays.”
The Colossus of Rhodes – A Titan of Ancient Ingenuity Standing over 30 meters tall at the entrance of Mandraki Harbour, the Colossus of Rhodes was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Built around 280 BCE, this towering bronze statue honored Helios, the Greek sun god, celebrating Rhodes’ victory over the invading forces of Cyprus. Crafted by the sculptor Chares of Lindos, it took nearly 12 years to complete and symbolized unity, strength, and triumph. Unfortunately, the Colossus stood for only 56 years before an earthquake in 226 BCE toppled it. Even in ruins, its grandeur drew travelers for centuries, inspiring awe and wonder—so much so that its legend lived on to influence the Statue of Liberty’s design millennia later.
The Lighthouse of Alexandria (Egypt)
“Where Light Once Ruled the Seas – The Lighthouse of Alexandria, with Christone Holidays.”
The Lighthouse of Alexandria, also known as the Pharos of Alexandria, stood proudly on Pharos Island in Egypt’s ancient harbor. Built around 280 BCE during the reign of Ptolemy II, it was one of the tallest structures of the ancient world — estimated between 100 and 130 meters high. Its brilliant light, produced by an open flame reflected through polished bronze mirrors, guided sailors safely into the bustling port of Alexandria for over 1,500 years. Repeated earthquakes between the 10th and 14th centuries caused its gradual collapse, leaving behind only underwater ruins discovered by archaeologists in the late 20th century. Today, remnants of the Lighthouse lie beneath the Mediterranean, near Fort Qaitbey, which was later built using stones from the original structure. Though it no longer stands, the Lighthouse of Alexandria remains a shining symbol of human ingenuity and the eternal quest to reach beyond the horizon.

Angkor Wat: The Soul of Cambodia.
"Cambodia's Beating Heart, Carved in Stone".
Angkor Wat is not merely a ruin. It is a living, breathing symbol of spiritual devotion, imperial power, and cultural resilience, offering a humbling and unforgettable encounter with one of history's most magnificent civilizations.
Angkor Wat: Where Heaven and Earth Meet. Core Values & Significance Architectural Genius: The largest religious monument in the world by land area, representing the pinnacle of classical Khmer architecture. Spiritual Harmony: A unique fusion of Hindu and Buddhist cosmology, originally dedicated to Vishnu and later transformed into a Buddhist site. National Pride: Depicted on the Cambodian national flag, it is the soul of the nation and a profound source of cultural identity. Human Endeavor: A testament to the ambition, artistry, and astronomical knowledge of the Khmer Empire. A Glimpse into History Built: Early 12th century (circa 1113-1150 AD). Commissioned By: King Suryavarman II, one of the greatest kings of the Khmer Empire. Original Purpose: It was originally constructed as a vast Hindu temple dedicated to the god Vishnu. Unlike most Angkorian temples, it was also designed to serve as the king's eventual mausoleum. Architectural Symbolism: The entire temple is a microcosm of the Hindu universe. The central quincunx of towers represents Mount Meru, the home of the gods, surrounded by smaller peaks (other towers), continents (the courtyards), and the cosmic ocean (the massive moat). Transformation: By the end of the 12th century, Angkor Wat gradually transformed from a Hindu center of worship to a Theravada Buddhist temple, which it remains to this day. This peaceful transition is evident in the countless Buddha statues and subtle alterations found throughout the complex. Present Status & Visitor Experience UNESCO World Heritage Site: Designated in 1992, it is a protected monument of immense global importance. Modern Pilgrimage: It is an active Buddhist pilgrimage site and a functioning monastery. Visitors must dress respectfully (covered knees and shoulders). Tourism Hub: The lifeblood of the Siem Reap province, attracting millions of visitors who come to witness its grandeur, particularly at sunrise over the iconic lotus-shaped towers. Conservation Efforts: A continuous, international effort led by various countries (including India, France, Germany, and Japan) is underway to preserve the sandstone structures from environmental damage and the encroaching jungle. The Visitor Journey: Exploring Angkor Wat involves crossing its vast moat, marveling at the intricate bas-reliefs depicting Hindu epics like the Ramayana, and ascending to the central sanctuary for a breathtaking view. It is the centerpiece of the larger Angkor Archaeological Park, which spans over 400 square kilometers.
The Alhambra: Granada's Crown Jewel
A Palace of Whispers, A Fortress of Dreams -The Last Sigh of Moorish Spain.
The Alhambra is more than a palace; it is the enduring legacy of a lost kingdom, a masterpiece of Islamic art that captures a fleeting moment in history where different cultures created something of sublime beauty.
Historical Significance & Value A Monument to Coexistence: The Alhambra stands as the finest example of sophisticated Moorish art and architecture in Europe, reflecting the period of Convivencia (coexistence) between Muslim, Jewish, and Christian cultures in medieval Spain. The Nasrid Dynasty's Masterpiece: Primarily built in the 13th and 14th centuries by the Nasrid sultans, the last Muslim dynasty in Spain, it was a palatine city—functioning as a royal palace, a fortress, and a medina (city) all in one. Architectural Poetry: Its design philosophy is encapsulated in the phrase "the visual representation of power." The deceptively simple exteriors hide an interior paradise, with intricate stucco work (Ataurique), colourful mosaic tiles (Alicatado), and serene courtyards with reflecting pools. Inscriptions from Arabic poetry cover the walls, praising God and the Sultan, making the architecture itself "speak." A Turning Point in History: Its fall to the Catholic Monarchs, Ferdinand and Isabella, in 1492 marked the end of nearly 800 years of Islamic rule in the Iberian Peninsula. It was from here that Christopher Columbus received royal endorsement for his voyage to the Americas. Present Status & Visitor Experience UNESCO World Heritage Site: Designated in 1984, it is one of Spain's most visited monuments and a protected treasure of human heritage. A Multi-Layered Complex: Visitors explore three primary areas: The Nasrid Palaces: The breathtaking heart of the complex, featuring the Court of the Myrtles and the iconic Court of the Lions with its famous fountain. The Generalife: The summer palace and tranquil gardens, with beautiful fountains and landscaped patios, offering a place of rest for the sultans. The Alcazaba: The oldest part, a mighty fortress with towers offering panoramic views of Granada. High Demand & Timed Tickets: Due to its immense popularity, visitor numbers are strictly limited. It is essential to book tickets online well in advance (often months ahead). Access to the Nasrid Palaces is for a specific, timed slot. The Modern Pilgrimage: A visit is a journey through layers of history. The Alhambra is not just a ruin; it is an immersive experience of light, water, and intricate art that continues to inspire awe, standing as a powerful symbol of Granada's identity.
