1. Chichén Itzá -- Mexico

Home of the famous El Castillo step-pyramid.

2. Hagia Sophia -- Turkey

It was a church in Constantinople. Now it's a museum in Istanbul.

3. Statue of the Little Mermaid -- Denmark

If you knew that Hans Christian Andersen wrote "The Little Mermaid", then you had this one in the bag.

4. Prasat Angkor Wat -- Cambodia

You probably know this temple better as just Angkor Wat, but its proper full name includes the "Prasat" in front of its name.

5. Petra -- Jordan

Ancient city famous for the rose-colored stone into which its buildings were carved.

6. Sagrada Familia -- Spain

Barcelona church famous for its unique spires.

7. Victoria Falls -- Zambia or Zimbabwe

It's on the border, so I could accept either answer.

8. Schönbrunn Palace -- Austria

Famous summer residence of the Habsburg family.

9. Potala Palace -- China or Tibet

One-time home of the Dalai Lama, it is perhaps Tibet's most famous building. I would have accepted Tibet even though it's not actually a country. (Don't tell Richard Gere I said that.)

10. Uluru -- Australia

You probably know this better by its English name: Ayers Rock.
