We know, that in next DLC/patch we will get new mechanism - wonders. Extra-holding with super bonuses and few own advancements. We know, that this will be long-term time of build and general can be magnificent. So maybe we can make speculations about wonders?

1. Revitalizations
In province X we have ruins or non-used building. I think, that "revitalization" should be least expensive from all wonders, but also is extremely limited by location (Colosseum cannot be revitalized in London or Plock, because ruins of Colosseum is in Rome) and/or culture/religion.
Eg. Colosseum, Stonehenge, Petra

2. Reconstructions
Old wonders that no longer exist. In most cases reconstruction shouldn't be possible without discovering construction plans (by event chain). This should be very rare and very expensive, but bonuses and advancements should be also greater. Similar like "Revitalization" should be limited by location (reconstruction of Persepolis should have place in Barcelona) but culture/religion should be important only for few situations (eg. Temple of Jerusalem should be limited only for believers of judaism).
Eg. Third Temple of Jerusalem, Persepolis, Hanging Gardens

3. Already existing
Wonders built and still functioning. Probably the biggest worry will be disasters (eg. Hagia Sophia in 989 by earthquake). Also I think, that shouldn't be too powerful.
Eg. Temple in Upsala, Hagia Sophia, Great Mosque in Mecca

4. Historical but current not existing
Important medieval wonders that in the early game don't exist... yet. I think that this shouldn't be limited by location, but this should be like in Civilization - only this one has a miracle who will build as first. But in non-early dates of star this work as already existing. Should be better than "general" but worstet than "antique". Also appropriate chain of events would be needed to initiate the construction
Eg. Chartres Cathedral, Cluny Abbey, Leaning Tower of Pisa

5. General
Great constructions of medieval, available to virtually anyone who have tons gold and time (and/or good religion/culture). The weakest of all
Eg. Great Cathedral, University, Family Palace

6. Fantastic
Totally invented, non-real etc. Existing mainly for fun, available through a strange event chains (eg. for lunatic)
Eg. Great Duck, Bone-maze

Yours concepts, speculations, way of expansion this concep or something others - please write :)

Wasn't Tower of Pisa basically 'become a wonder' after it sinks to the ground during construction? Unless we have human-error-specific wonder, that honor of wonder should fall on Pisa Cathedral :p

Release the Quacken!

More seriously, if anything the Colosseum should not so much be a potential reconstruction. In this time period it was a site of religious veneration (for the Christians martyred there) and later an inspiration for painters and poets. Apparently it was overgrown in a beautiful way with an exotic variety of plants. Turns out taking thousands of people and animals to the same sandy place means many interesting seeds got pooped out.

Rebuilding it should only be an option for a Hellenic pagan Revivalist. The same for Stonehenge, or Newgrange, or any other pre-christian monuments, except with appropriate Revivalist pagans.

Therefore I wrote, that "revitalization" should be limited by culture/religion :)

I don't think Italian Christians would be all that into rebuilding the Colosseum. Everything it was used for had long since fallen out of the mainstream culture.

New version haven't Great Ducks - I'm sad :(

Summary.
My speculations haven't come true. We have few Pre-existing Wonders and rest are as "general". Maybe this will be expanded with next DLC, but maybe not.
