The church of St. Stefan in Golubić is an example of a sacred building that was neglected in Croatian science for many justified and unjustified reasons. A more serious interest in it began with the publication of a pre-Romanesque spolia embedded in the threshold of the southern side portal of the church, so it can be said that its publication represents the starting point in the awakening of interest in its research, and it also contributed to the gradual growth of awareness of its exceptional cultural and historical importance. Based on previously known knowledge, but also on recent research conducted in 2021, in which I personally participated, a comprehensive presentation of the parish church in Golubić is presented. The emphasis of this work is on the architectural uniqueness of the mentioned building, then on the treatment of pre- Romanesque fragments that were incorporated as spolii in some of its parts (and which contributed to strengthening assumptions about its pre-Romanesque origin), but also on the issue of protecting the church as a cultural asset of the Republic Croatian.
