On a rocky promontory overlooking the Seugne, the medieval city, with its picturesque alleys, bears witness to a rich past. From the 12th century fortress, the keep remains today, 30 m high, offering an exceptional panorama over the city and the valley and the ramparts. On the fortified castle, dismantled during the wars of religion, a stately home was built, now the town hall. Pons is a stopover town on the Saint-Jacques de Compostelle routes. The new hospital, hospice de Pons, located 1 km from the city, has exceptional architecture with its vaulted passage, it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A medicinal garden with more than a hundred plants has been created.
