8.  Machu Picchu, Peru

Situated in the rugged Andes Mountains, Machi Picchu is undoubtedly the most famous Inca archaeological site on the planet.  It was erected in 1450 but totally abandoned in 1550 because of the Spanish Conquest.  This is also a popular UNESCO World Heritage Site.  It includes the well-known ritual stone known as Intihuatana, the Temple of the Sun, and the Room of the Three Windows.  It was restored in the 1980s.

7.  The Louvre Palace, France

The Louvre Palace is can be found on the Right Bank of the well-known Seine in Paris.  Erected in 1202 as a medieval fortress, it is between the olden church of Saint-Germain l’Auxerrois and the beautiful Tuileries Gardens. In the 1300s Charles V converted it into a palace.  It was next used as the Paris residence of the later kings of France.  In 1793 it was turned into a museum and opened to the public.
