How the Wonders Were Chosen
The idea to find Poland's top wonders began with a public vote. First, people online suggested over 400 national monuments. These were all places important to Poland's history and culture.

The Final Public Vote
The last round of voting started on August 31, 2007. People could vote online to pick the top seven wonders. The results of this popular vote were announced on September 21, 2007. This is how the final list of the Seven Wonders of Poland was created.
