This chapel was founded in 1435 by Sancho Dávalos, the alderman of Murcia, Lord of Ceutí, commander of Lorquí and Knight of the Order of Saint James. Its last owners were the Marquises of Espinardo.
It houses one of the most splendid Baroque altarpieces in our Cathedral, and along with the sculptures adorning it, it was probably a project by the great Murcian sculptor of the 18th century, Francisco Salzillo.
The altarpiece, with rich gilded and polychrome wood, shows pairs of columns, two of which are Solomonic, that frame the niche that houses the figure who the chapel is named after, Our Lady of Succour.
The top part of the altarpiece shows the representation of Saint Anthony the Great, which refers to the early dedication of the chapel. A large curtain carved in wood, in the top part of the altarpiece, seems to cover the entire structure in a display of theatricality, typical of the Baroque period.
It is worth noting that this chapel is the resting place of the remains of Jerónimo de Ayanz and Beaumont, who died in 1613, and was known as the Spanish Da Vinci of the 16th century. He was a soldier who stood out as a painter, musician, astronomer and, above all, as a brilliant inventor
