Burg Hohenzollern - 24 (23+1) Out of the countless castles in Europe its hard to choose one, I didn't even know it existed until this elimination game. That said it is one of the most beautiful castles I have ever seen.

Chrám Sv. Barbory - 20
Citadel of Qaitbay - 21
Dhammayangyi Temple - 24

The Royal Mausoleum of Mauretania has disappeared from the list since a few posts ago. Correcting the mistake, this is the current score:

Burg Hohenzollern - 24
Château Frontenac - 24
Chrám Sv. Barbory - 20
Citadel of Qaitbay - 21
Dhammayangyi Temple - 24
Etemenanki - 25
Fasil Ghebbi - 11
Humayun's Tomb - 15
Iglesia de Achao - 14
Krak des Chevaliers - 25
Museo El Castillo - 5
Naqsh-e Rustam - 24

Palácio de Pena - 22
Prambanan - 23
Royal Mausoleum of Mauretania - 22
Swayambhunath - 22
Teatro Colón - 19
Temple of Heaven - 26
 
There is one more mistake. Burg Hohenzollern should have 25, not 24. Manifold downvoted it to 22, and Zaarin, although he upvoted it, probably made a typo - he wrote 22 (22+1) instead of 23 (22+1).
 
Burg Hohenzollern - 25 Fixed and turned to 25
Château Frontenac - 24
Chrám Sv. Barbory - 20
Citadel of Qaitbay - 21
Dhammayangyi Temple - 24
Etemenanki - 25 - 3 = 22 Although I would really like to see a Ziggurat as a wonder, and more ancient wonders, I believe this is with more points than it should have. They are not as urgently prioritized, since we already have them in the game as unique improvements of Sumerian civilization.
Fasil Ghebbi - 11
Humayun's Tomb - 15 + 1 = 16 As a lover of Indian structures, I would not want to see it falling now, it's an impressive and historically important structure. And I think this is visually enough distinct from the Taj Mahal, I do not see any problem of having both.

Burg Hohenzollern - 25
Château Frontenac - 24
Chrám Sv. Barbory - 20
Citadel of Qaitbay - 21
Dhammayangyi Temple - 24
Etemenanki - 22+1=23 - Ha, these laughable Sumerian Ziggurat UUs can't compare to how great would this giant Babylonian Ziggurat look as a wonder!
Fasil Ghebbi - 11
Humayun's Tomb - 16
Iglesia de Achao - 14
Krak des Chevaliers - 25
Museo El Castillo - 5-3=2 - Let's end it's suffering.

Palácio de Pena - 22
Prambanan - 23

Burg Hohenzollern - 25
Château Frontenac - 24
Chrám Sv. Barbory - 20
Citadel of Qaitbay - 21
Dhammayangyi Temple - 24+1=25 This is as needed as a Burma civ.
Etemenanki -23
Fasil Ghebbi - 11
Humayun's Tomb - 16
Iglesia de Achao - 14
Krak des Chevaliers - 25
Museo El Castillo - 2-3=-1 ELIMINATED, this is not as impressive when compared to other castle wonders.

Citadel of Qaitbay - 21
Dhammayangyi Temple - 25
Etemenanki -23
Fasil Ghebbi - 11
Humayun's Tomb - 16
Iglesia de Achao - (14-3)=11 Seeing this place survive this long is a joke, it's a small wooden Chiloe church. Does that have the makings of a great wonder? Is representing Chile in the game as big a priority as like say Argentina? If I had to choose between Fasil Ghebbi and this being in the game, I choose Fasil Ghebbi. :p
Krak des Chevaliers - 25
Naqsh-e Rustam - 24
Palacio de Bellas Artes - 22
Palácio de Pena - 22
Prambanan - 23
Royal Mausoleum of Mauretania - 22
Swayambhunath - (22+1)=23 It's a decent wonder if you want to represent Nepal in the game.
Teatro Colón - 19
Temple of Heaven - 26
 
Burg Hohenzollern - 22 (25-3) If you really need a romantic castle then Eltz Castle is the right choice and not this new building of Hohenzollern
Château Frontenac - 24
Chrám Sv. Barbory - 20
Citadel of Qaitbay - 21
Dhammayangyi Temple - 25
Etemenanki -24 (23+1) Babylon, Babylon, Babylon...

Burg Hohenzollern - 23 (22 + 1) -- Burg Eltz is pretty, but a lot of its beauty comes from the way it's tucked into the mountains and not innately from the structure. Hohenzollern is definitely more attractive, and was also the home of the Hohenzollern emperors. The current structure is relatively new, sure (though no newer than Neuschwanstein), but there has been a Burg Hohenzollern on the location since the thirteenth century. Burg Eltz is older, but it's neither as attractive nor as historically significant.
Château Frontenac - 24
Chrám Sv. Barbory - 20
Citadel of Qaitbay - 21
Dhammayangyi Temple - 25
Etemenanki - 24
Fasil Ghebbi - 11
Humayun's Tomb - 16
Iglesia de Achao - 8 (11 - 3) -- Why is this even on this list? I've seen little small town Baptist churches prettier than this. :sad:

Etemenanki - 24
Fasil Ghebbi - 11
Humayun's Tomb - 16
Iglesia de Achao - 8 - 3 = 5 Although they are recognized as a UNESCO world heritage site, I agree that the Churches of Chiloé are not as impressive enough to be world wonders in common concept.
Krak des Chevaliers - 25
Naqsh-e Rustam - 24
Palacio de Bellas Artes - 22 + 1 = 23 I think this or the Teatro Colón should be included in the game. Although Teatro Colon seems to be more important in the grand scheme of things, the Palacio de Bellas Artes is more visually attractive and distinctive.
Palácio de Pena - 22
Prambanan - 23
Royal Mausoleum of Mauretania - 22
Swayambhunath - 23
Teatro Colón - 19

Citadel of Qaitbay - 21
Dhammayangyi Temple - 25
Etemenanki - 24
Fasil Ghebbi - 11

Burg Hohenzollern - 23
Château Frontenac - 26
Chrám Sv. Barbory - (20-3)=17 Sorry Kimiimaro, I think there are other European Gothic cathedrals that take precedence over this one (including Notre Dame de Paris). Maybe we should get Firaxis to add Prague as a City-State in Civ6, so there's a chance of Czechia being added to the game.
