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:
