Wonders as in "wonders of the world". It is a way to describe very remarkable constructions that left their mark in human history, even if they were to be destroyed eventually.

Take as an example the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World; only the Great Pyramid of Giza stands today, but all the other wonders too (such as the Colossus) inspired generations to come and captivated the curiosity of researchers, even to this day.
