A zaouia or zawiya (Arabic زاوية "Assembly" or "Group"; also spelled zawiyah, zaouiya, zaouïa, zwaya, etc.) is an Islamic religious school or monastery. The term is Maghrebi and West African, roughly corresponding to the Eastern term madrassa. A zawiya often contains a pool, and sometimes a fountain.
