Androna, also known as al-Andarin (Arabic: الأندرين), is a Byzantine site spread over a vast area at the edges of the semi-desert, about 25 kilometers beyond the more well-known Byzantine site of Qasr Ibn Wardan.

Androna was built as a defense line against nomadic skirmishes in the Syrian Desert. The fortified city contains at least ten churches, a large military building and public baths; and was famous for its vineyards and high-quality wine in which it was mentioned by Amr ibn Kulthum in his ode.

The following is the opening verse of his ode:

أَلاَ هُبِّي بِصَحْنِكِ فَاصْبَحِيْنَـا وَلاَ تُبْقِي خُمُـوْرَ الأَنْدَرِيْنَـا

Ha girl! Up with the bowl! Give us our dawn draught
And do not spare the wines of al-Andarina
