Archaeological excavations have shown that this chapel was the center of a powerful priory belonging to the Abbey of St. Victor, and that it was built around the 6th/17th centuries on the remains of a Gallo-Roman villa.
The chapel is mentioned in the charter of 977 by which the Bishop of Marseille restored the Abbey of St. Victor de Marseille and endowed it with property in Provence, including the chapel of St. Côme St. Damien and its territories.
The present chapel measures 4.2m by 3m inside, and in fact corresponds to the vaulted choir of the original church, which was closed around 1600 to form this edifice. Restoration work began in 1979, and a new bell was installed in 2000.
The entrance is closed to the public, and can only be visited from the outside.
It was listed as a Monument Historique on 13/04/1981.
