The historical centre of Anderlecht is the municipality's central district. Formerly known as ''Rinck'',{{sfn|Thomas|Vanden Branden|De Waha|1999|p=7}} it is divided into several sectors: 
* The {{lang|fr|Saint-Guidon|italic=no}}/{{lang|nl|Sint Guido|italic=no}} district, also called the {{lang|fr|Vaillance|italic=no}}/{{lang|nl|Dapperheid|italic=no}} district, is the meeting point for those who hail to the heart of Anderlecht. It is also where the [[Place de la Vaillance|Place de la Vaillance/Dapperheidsplein]] (Anderlecht's central square), the [[Collegiate Church of St. Peter and St. Guido|Church of St. Guido]], the {{lang|fr|Place de Linde|italic=no}}/{{lang|nl|De Lindeplein|italic=no}}, as well as Anderlecht's main schools are located. The {{lang|fr|Rue Wayez|italic=no}}/{{lang|nl|Wayezstraat|italic=no}} is the municipality's main shopping street. It is centred on the {{lang|fr|Place of the Resistance|italic=no}}/{{lang|nl|Verzetsplein|italic=no}} and some neighbouring streets. 
* The smaller Aumale district in its northern part mainly comprises the {{lang|fr|Rue d'Aumale|italic=no}}/{{lang|nl|Aumalestraat|italic=no}} and its surrounding streets. It includes the [[Erasmus House]] (a museum devoted to the Dutch [[Humanism|humanist]] writer and [[Theology|theologian]] [[Erasmus|Erasmus of Rotterdam]]), the old [[beguinage]] (a [[Late Middle Ages|late medieval]] lay [[convent]], now a museum dedicated to religious community life), as well as the ''Bibliothèque de l'Espace Maurice Carême'' French-language public library.
