Castell de Ponts dominates the town of Ponts in La Noguera, Lleida, overlooking the Segre river valley. Linked to the lineage of the Ponts during the county of Urgell era, the castle witnessed significant historical events until the barony's collapse in 1416 under Ferran de Antequera. Now standing in ruins alongside the Gothic church of Santa María—rebuilt after 19th-century Carlist war damage—the castle anchors Ponts' medieval heritage. Its strategic riverside setting has historically served as a gateway to mountain adventure, with the surrounding landscape now offering outdoor activities including canoeing, hiking, and rock climbing that capitalize on the region's natural beauty.
