The main landmark of Chrudim is the Church of Assumption of the Virgin Mary on the town square. The originally Gothic building was founded before 1349 on the site of a castle. After it was damaged by several fires, it was reconstructed to its current Neo-Gothic form in 1857.<ref>{{cite web |title=Kostel Nanebevzetí Panny Marie v Chrudimi|url=https://www.kudyznudy.cz/aktivity/kostel-nanebevzeti-panny-marie-v-chrudimi|publisher=CzechTourism|language=cs|access-date=2021-10-18}}</ref> Another notable churches with Gothic bases are Church of Saint Catherine, Church of Saint Michael, and Church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross.<ref name=sights>{{cite web |title=O Chrudimi|url=https://www.chrudim.eu/o%2Dchrudimi/d-6992/p1=1072|publisher=Město Chrudim|language=cs|access-date=2021-10-18}}</ref>

Resselovo Square is the main square of the historic centre. It is lined with preserved burgher houses and includes the originally Renaissance town hall with Baroque façade. In the middle of the square there is the Baroque richly decorated sculptural column of the Transfiguration.<ref name=sights/>

One of the architectural symbols of the town is the Renaissance Mydlářovský House, typical with arcades and oriental-looking triple tower. Today it houses the Museum of [[Puppetry#Czech Republic and Slovakia|Puppetry Culture]]. A significant sight is also the Neo-Renaissance and Neo-Baroque building of the [[Chrudim Regional Museum]].<ref name=sights/>

The historic centre was delimited by the town walls. Most of the walls, including several bastions, have been preserved.<ref name=sights/>
