A few different places
Colosseum in Rome: I was amazed at the size, especially the walls which were extremely thick
Sistene Chapel: Michelangelo's painting and the vivid colors. This was in 2001 just after it had been restored
Palace at Versailles: The gardens and the ornate construction with gold leaf everywhere. It made it more clear why the French Revolution took place.
European churches with their huge domes: I didn't have the time to climb to the top, and maybe would have been scared anyway.
Chechinitza: A lot of Mayan ruins, some still in good condition
Yosemite: I can still remember the smell of the pines the first time I drove in almost 30 years ago. One of my favorite places.
Grand Canyon, Canyonlands: The hugeness of the place.
