The simplest SO(4) symmetric particlelike and SO(3) symmetric vortex type solutions in the Einstein-Yang-Mills theory in D=5 are considered, and their various generalizations with or without an event horizon, for other symmetries, in more general theories, and also in $D>5$ are described. In addition, supersymmetric solutions with gravitating Yang-Mills fields in string theory are discussed.18 pages, invited talk given at the Eleventh Marcel Grossmann Meeting (Berlin, July 23 - 29, 2006), submitted to the Conference ProceedingsHigh Energy Physics - Theorytext
