What would your local wonder be?

[aldousmuni]

Spinning off from the "how old is your country?' thread, it got me thinking about what wonders from my home city I would put forward into a theoretical civ game. As someone who hails from Newcastle UK:

Baltic Flour Mill
A factory type building that provides production in the industrial age with added culture and tourism from the modern era onwards.

St.James Park
Similar to the Maracana and would provide amenities and gold to the appropriate city.

There is absolutely nothing here so the closest would be the CN Tower.

Mine would be Peel Tower - 1852, it was built as a memorial to Sir Robert Peel, not that inspiring but it's within spitting distance from where I live.

It would give 1 free Diplomatic Policy Slot, and +1 Amenity for each Diplomatic Policy Slot in your Government

+4 Amenities

Not sure I would give Luton Airport +4 amenities.

not that inspiring

That’s a pretty inspiring view. I personally quite like the unpolished feel to the tower, sort of haunting.

Santa Barbara Castle in Lanzarote. It's not too far from where I live. It was built to defend against pirate raids, so I suppose for a wonder it could have something to do with defense against coastal raids? I don't think photos do it justice, but the view from the top is stunning. It's my favorite place to take people when they visit the island. It's not considered one of the main tourist attractions, so I like to suggest people go to the museum when they want to see a different part of the island. It used to be an emigration museum up until a few years ago, now it's a pirate history museum.
