Image of Ponts, not of the place itself.

The Canal d'Urgell, the hydraulic work that turned the Plana into irrigated land, takes its water from the Segre in the district of Ponts. It was built between 1853 and 1862 with private capital and completely changed the agriculture of the comarcas downstream.
