Abbey of St Pons, Baroque abbey in Nice, France.
The Abbey of St Pons features stone walls, arched windows, and a symmetrical facade designed according to 18th-century architectural principles.
Built in 1724 on the site of an older monastery from 774, the abbey survived numerous transformations before becoming part of the Pasteur Hospital complex.
The monastery belonged to the Benedictine order, whose members established multiple churches across Nice and controlled substantial portions of the city's territory.
Located on Route de Levens, the abbey maintains its religious heritage while functioning as part of a medical facility open to visitors.
The formal surrender of Nice to Savoy was signed within the abbey walls on September 28, 1388, marking a defining moment in regional politics.
