The Seven Wonders of Poland was a short list of cultural wonders located in Poland. The creation of the list was initiated by the leading Polish newspaper Rzeczpospolita in a nationwide plebiscite held in Sep’07. Initially over four hundred national monuments were carefully chosen as candidates by the magazine online-readers, however in the second round of selections a board of specialists reduced the amount to 27. The third and last round of public on-line voting started on 31st Aug 2007, to decide on the top seven wonders. Results of the popular vote were declared on 21st Sept 2007. The Seven Wonders as chosen by Poland were Wieliczka Salt Mine, Torun Old Town, Malbork Castle, Wawel Castle and Cathedral, Elbląg Canal, Zamosc Old Town and Krakow Market Square and Old Town.
