The Cosma Mill (formerly Pavanetto) is one of the four currently present in the municipal area, silent witnesses of a time when water was a precious resource and marked daily life. Dating back to the 15th century, as per a document that sets its construction date to 1470, and belonging to the noble families Donà, Contarini, and Zen, it remained active until 1995. It marks the initial/final stage of the Four Mills cycle path completed in 2019.

The Il Mulino Todori (formerly Pamio) stands between the localities of Contea and Canove. The existence of a mill in this area has been known since 1455. Run by as many as three families, all belonging to the Todori branch of the Pamio family, it had three millstones: for maize, for wheat, and for the waste of corn and cobs. The mill was subsequently rebuilt by the noble Soranzo family, who created the adjoining manor house with the architectural characteristics typical of Venetian villas, of which the central trifora can still be identified. The milling activity definitively ceased in the early 1960s. The mill, today privately owned, is located within the Oasi Todori, a municipal green area inaugurated in 201. Characterized by high biodiversity, it currently occupies an area of 2.5 hectares as a refuge and protection area for various species of flora and fauna, including woodpecker, swallow, robin, blackbird, sparrow, finch, water rail. Among the tree species are field maple, hornbeam, poplar, willow, elder, and dogwood.

The Parish Church of Santa Maria Assunta is the main religious building in Zero Branco and dominates the historic center with its imposing neoclassical structure. Rebuilt in the second half of the eighteenth century on the site of a previous medieval parish church, the church features a majestic facade punctuated by tall Corinthian semicolumns and topped by a large pediment. Inside, the single nave houses art treasures of exceptional value, among which stands out the splendid altarpiece by Giambattista Tiepolo, depicting the "Madonna in glory with saints". The vast frescoed ceiling and the precious marble altars contribute to creating an atmosphere of solemn spirituality. The bell tower, which soars next to the structure, completes the profile of the town, making the church not only a focal point of faith but also the most recognizable identity symbol of the community.

Palazzo Sagramora, located in the center of Zero Branco, represents a fundamental piece of the local historical heritage. This building, which overlooks the main road axis, reflects the canons of Venetian residential architecture of the modern era, integrating into the urban fabric that gravitates around Piazza Umberto I. The structure is distinguished by a sober elegance, with a facade punctuated by regular openings that denote its past function as a prestigious residence or a directional center for the village's activities. Although less imposing than Villa Parata, the palace contributes to defining the architectural identity of the historic center, testifying to the social and economic evolution of the territory. Today, the building is an integral part of city life, hosting activities or offices that keep alive the link between the historical memory of the structure and the current needs of the Zero Branco community.

Piazza Umberto I is the vital heart of Zero Branco, a large open space that serves as a hinge between the town's history and daily life. Strategically located opposite Villa Parata, the seat of the Town Hall, the square has undergone a redevelopment that has enhanced its role as an urban living room, fostering encounters and social interaction. Its regular paving and the absence of architectural barriers make it ideal for hosting markets, cultural events, and civic celebrations. Lined with cafes and businesses that animate its arcades, the square offers a privileged perspective on the surrounding 18th-century architecture and the nearby church. This space is not just a transit point, but a symbol of local identity where monumental decor blends with the vibrancy of a modern and dynamic community.

Considered the "little sister" of the contemporary porta San Tomaso, it is located at the end of Borgo Cavour. It presents itself with its Istrian stone facade with three arches. On the external facade, the representation that stands out above all is the winged lion, symbol of Venice's power over the mainland. It takes its name from the nearby church dedicated to the Forty Martyrs of Sebaste. It was built in 1516, perhaps on a design by Alessandro Leopardi,

La Filanda Motta di Campocroce, a hamlet of Mogliano Veneto, is an exceptional example of perfectly preserved industrial archaeology. Built around the mid-19th century, it was for over seventy years the beating heart of the local silk industry, employing hundreds of 'filandiere' (silk mill workers) who processed precious silkworm cocoons. Characterized by its large windows, terracotta floors, and imposing original chimney, the structure has retained the charm of 19th-century production. After its closure in the post-war period, the complex has been skillfully recovered and today houses artistic workshops, creative studios, and cultural events. Immersed in the Venetian countryside, the silk mill represents a vital link between the manufacturing past and the regeneration of historic spaces, offering a timeless atmosphere.
