I was able to find 15 lists. I took the 15 lists and added all their content into a spreadsheet, noting the rank of every building. I ended up averaging the rankings each one got and dividing that average by a factor of the number of lists it was on. The lowest score meant a high ranking average on many lists. The complete spreadsheet is attached at the bottom.

The buildings that were on the most lists (out of 15) were:

  • Taj Mahal (Agra, India – 1653) – 10 lists
  • Colosseum (Rome, Italy – 80 CE) – 9 lists
  • Hagia Sophia (Istanbul, Turkey – 537 CE) – 9 lists
  • Burj Khalifa (Dubai, UAE – 2010) – 9 lists
  • Leaning Tower of Pisa (Pisa, Italy – 1372) – 9 lists
  • Sydney Opera House (Sydney, Australia – 1973) – 8 lists
  • Guggenheim Museum Bilbao (Bilbao, Spain – 1997) – 8 lists
  • Fallingwater (Bear Run, PA – 1939) – 8 lists
  • Sagrada Family (Barcelona, Spain – 1882) – 7 lists
  • Parthenon (Athens, Greece – 438 BCE) – 7 lists
  • Petronas Towers (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia – 1999) – 7 lists
  • Eiffel Tower (Paris, France – 1889) – 7 lists

Here are links to the lists I used along with dates the lists were created:
