Ermitage Saint-Pons, Medieval hermitage ruins in Saint-Pierre-des-Tripiers, France
The stone structure extends along 100 meters of limestone cliff face, incorporating natural rock formations into its architectural design.
Originally constructed as a medieval fortress known as Saint-Pons de Roquevaire, the structure featured a three-story building with carefully constructed arched windows and doorways.
The remaining chapel section contains a rustic stone altar measuring 1.20 meters in height, with its original altar table now preserved in Saint-Pierre-des-Tripiers church.
The site includes multiple building sections, with a northern structure containing two floors and a vaulted ground level currently filled with debris from upper floor collapses.
The cliff face contains visible square holes that once supported wooden floor beams, while its natural overhang served as a roof for the entire construction.
