==History== thumb|The Royal Castle of Amauir-Maya The fortress of Amaiur, sitting on a hill by the village, was one of the key medieval strongholds of the Kingdom of Navarre. It was one of the few fortresses in Navarre making a stand against the Castilian invasion of 1512, once they had taken over Pamplona. It bore witness to frequent battles between the combined French-Navarrese and the Spanish imperial forces (Ferdinand the Catholic, Charles V), with the most famous being the Battle of Amaiur (Maya) in 1522, when the Mayor-Alcaide of the town and Castle of Amauir-Maya Don Jaime Velaz de Medrano and his son Don Luis Velaz de Medrano held the last Navarrese stronghold in an attempt to resist the Spanish (Castilian-Aragonese) push.
