Sobre 1774, el maestro alarife de la ciudad, Martín de Bogas, construye, con no pocos elementos manieristas, esta capilla de planta trapezoidal que fue dedicada a la Virgen del Socorro y se usó como vehículo permanente de difusión devocional.

Consta de dos cuerpos con triple arcada en cada uno de ellos. La decoración es de la máxima sencillez limitándose en la planta baja, a finos baquetones que dibujan las enjutas del pórtico. En la planta superior encontramos arcos carpaneles de rosca de almohadilla al igual que las medias pilastras sobre las que descansan aquellos.

Estilísticamente se encuadra dentro de un barroco muy tardío. No debemos olvidar que se trata de una construcción de tipo popular.

Around 1774, the master builder of the city, Martín de Bogas, built, with not a few Mannerist elements, this chapel with a trapezoidal plan that was dedicated to the Virgen del Socorro and was used as a permanent vehicle for devotional dissemination.

It consists of two bodies with triple arches in each of them. The decoration is extremely simple, limiting itself on the ground floor to fine moldings that outline the spandrels of the portico. On the upper floor we find carpanel arches with cushion threads, as well as the half pilasters on which they rest.

Stylistically it fits within a very late baroque. We must not forget that it is a construction of popular type.
