They're not named "miracles", but "wonders". The 7 wonders of the world are the following:
Great Pyramid of Giza
Hanging Gardens of Babylon
Temple of Artemis at Ephesus
Statue of Zeus at Olympia
Mausoleum of Maussollos at Halicarnassus
Colossus of Rhodes
Lighthouse of Alexandria
I haven't visited any of them so far.

yes, the appropriate term is "wonders", not "miracles", although, when you look at them, you couldn't begin to imagine how they came to be, so maybe, in a way, they are a miracle!
except for the great pyramid of giza, all the other "ancient wonders" have been destroyed either by earthquake or arson.
there is now a list of the new seven wonders of the world:
1. Potala Palace in Tibet
2. Old City of Jerusalem in Israel
3. Polar Ice Caps in the Polar regions
4. Northern Hawaiian Islands Nat'l Monument
5. The Mayan Ruins
6. Great Migration of Serengeti and Masai Mara, and interestingly, the
7. The Internet
The Grand Canyon has been chosen by viewers as the 8th wonder.

The only one of these that still exist is the great pyramid which I have visited. And it was the statue of Artemis in the temple at Ephesus that was the wonder, not the temple itself.
