Au coeur du quartier de la Boucherie, la chapelle Saint Aurélien a été construite en 1471 pour recueillir les reliques du saint patron des bouchers, le deuxième évêque de Limoges : saint Aurélien.
Agrandie au XVIIème siècle, elle est dotée d'un clocher à bulbe en bardeaux de châtaignier. Achetée à la Révolution par la confrèrie des bouchers, cette chapelle privée mais ouverte au public recèle un riche mobilier cultuel dont un groupe sculpté du XVème siècle, représentant sainte Anne, la Vierge Marie et l'Enfant Jésus portant à la bouche un rognon.
