Shaqqa
Situated 100 Km south of Damascus and west of Shahba is the small town of Shaqqa. Shaqqa was great in size and importance in the Roman and Byzantine empires. Under the Romans it had the status of a colony and in the Christian era became a bishopric. The two main items of historical interest are the Roman palace, which is called in Arabic Al Kaisariyeh. It was the resident quarters of the governor and was the capital of the Roman province. It has a number of rooms and halls decorated with engravings of Laurel leaves and flowers. The other important ruin is the chapel, which is now a Druze meeting hall. This chapel was named after Saint George and included a monastery.

Atheel
There are two temples here, one dates back to 151 AD and has a 12-meter long façade, the other was built by the Roman Emperor Karakala and its southern façade is still intact.

Saleem
This town was known as Niapolis in the Roman period. Nothing much of it remains, except for parts of a temple dating back to the 3rd century AD. The northern corner and the southern base are still intact.
