The center of Zubiena is quite small and centers around a large square that is quite remarkable from an urban planning perspective. It features a large fountain, the town hall, and, opposite it, at the top of a flight of steps, the imposing façade of the parish church of San Nicolao, dating from 1756. Its exposed brickwork lends a warm and captivating tone. Although relatively rare in the Biella area, where this is the largest example, brick Baroque church façades are common in other parts of Piedmont and, overall, constitute a distinctive feature. Zubiena's Baroque style, however, is simple and unadorned, with two clear-cut string courses that restrain the upward thrust of the six pilasters. Next to it stands the very tall 19th-century bell tower: anyone observing the Serra from the Biella plain, even from afar, will easily recognize it.

San Grato is a 16th century chapel located on the hill near Zimone, and is dedicated to a holy bishop of Aosta. Used as a refuge by the partisans in the Second World War it was damaged during the bombings. In 2015 it was restored and made safe thanks to the San Grato Committee, made up of 14 pensioners from the town.

The Church of San Secondo in Magnano is a beautiful example of Romanesque architecture, built in the 11th century by Benedictine monks. It is located in a solitary clearing, where the town of Magnano once stood and was restored in 1968, eliminating the baroque additions made over the centuries.

This village has a charm from times gone by. In the Middle Ages it was a shelter, a fortified place. Some details from that time can still be seen.
