The Keep of Pons (French: Donjon de Pons) is an 830-year-old fortified tower located in Pons, France and is one of the few remnants of the original castle of Pons. The keep is located near the chapel and porch of Saint Gilles and remains of the ramparts. On a hill and visible from a distance, this 33-meter-high (108 ft) edifice is used as the symbol of the city.
