Description:
This chapel was erected by public subscription as an ex-voto to the Virgin Mary, to thank her for sparing the village and its inhabitants after the violent fighting between supporters of Napoleon III's coup d'état and the Republicans in 1851.
Erected in 1853 on the foundations of the former 12th-century château of the Dukes of Blacas, it was sold in 1986 to an association dedicated to its preservation and restoration. Of all the monuments in Aups, it is surely the one to which the locals are most attached. Every year on the night of August 15th, the Virgin of Notre-Dame de la Délivrance is carried in procession through the streets of the village.
