The Ermita del Socorro, located in the square that bears its name and very close to the Plaza de la Corredera, was built in the 17th century. It originally stood in the square itself, but was moved to its current location after the remodelling ordered by the Corregidor Francisco Ronquillo Briceño, who expropriated it in exchange for the site it occupies today.
The main altarpiece houses a small chapel with the image of the Virgen del Socorro, which projects outwards and connects, in height, with an adjoining building on Calle Toril.
Curiously, when walking along this street, one passes right underneath the chapel. In addition, two side windows allow the image to be seen from the outside, making it a devotional element visible from the street.
