The Department for protection and scientific study of Cultural Monuments in Belgrade issued a decision in 1948, in which the Romanesque church of Arača was placed under state protection.
It was built in the Kingdom of Hungary around 1230 and then went through hardships thorough its history: it was robbed and devastated in 1280 and then reconstructed in 1370 as required by Queen Elizabeth at which time the Gothic tower as seen nowadays, was probably built.
In 1417 Serbian despot Stefan Lazarević took control of it. Later it belonged to Serbian despot Đurađ Branković who gave it away to Pál Birinyi. In 1551 Ottomans burned the cathedral down and it was never reconstructed again. In the end of the 18th century it was owned by the Sissány family.
Extensive excavation and general protection of the archaeological sites and conservation-restoration works took place in the period 1970-1978 organized by Regional Institute For Protection Of Cultural Monuments / Vojvodina, Novi Sad /, and they were headed up by archaeologist of Vojvodina Museum Sandor Nagy in Novi Sad. Conservation and restoration work, and work on technical documentation were organized by Miomir Petrović, technician conservator of the Provincial Institute for the Protection of Cultural Monuments, with the involvement of Milka Čanak, conservator of the Republic Institute for Protection of Cultural Monuments, Belgrade.

ExcavationsEdit
Excavations organized at the end of the 19th century were submitted to light findings
that greatly enriched the knowledge of Arača, and simultaneously became the trademark of this place. Excavation was led by archaeologist Gerece Péter in 1896.
