The head of the Department of al-Sweida Antiquities , Dr. Nashaat Kiwan, told SANA that these  archeological buildings  include a temple from the Roman era that dates back to the second century AD, in which a church was built in the fourth century AD .Then a larger church was built in the fourth and fifth centuries AD, which  includes a front hall and main reception hall.

Kiwan indicates that there were  ruins  of the church that was erected in the middle of the temple which  has  beautiful western facade and a garden  with many large windows. He added  that behind these archaeological ruins we find the remains  of a temple and a church and  then a wide corridor.

The town of Qanawat includes a number of archaeological sites that are still witnesses of  its ancient history, most notably the archaeological water tank located to the southwest of the Palaces, the Temple of Zeus, the Qanawat theater, the Goddess of water, towers, tombs, and the Temple of the God  of Sun.
