The name "Nava" has pre-Roman origins and means"flat land surrounded by hills." The village is mainly known for the quality of its Designation of Origin Ribera del Duero wines.

Nava de Roa has an important historical heritage in religious buildings. The parish church of San Antolín Mártir is from the 17th century and was developed in the XVIII. It has a Baroque façade and neoclassic tower. Inside, there is an altarpiece which was built by Pedro Cicarte, decorated by Pedro Pérez and there is also a baptismal font from the 16th century. There is also a Gothic Christ of large dimensions, probably from the 14th century.

The chapel of Santa Ana, located on the Monte Calvario, is of Baroque style but it has not been conserved and it currently remains in ruins. The municipal cemetery can be found on its premises and on the hillsides, the characteristic wine cellars and remains of old wine-presses can be seen.

Lastly, it is possible to see models of popular architecture with wooden framework in its walls, which survived the fire of Nava de Roa in the 19th century.
