Chiesa di San Bartolomeo della Certosa, Conventual church in Rivarolo district, Genoa, Italy.

San Bartolomeo della Certosa is a Carthusian monastery complex in Genoa's Rivarolo district, made up of a church, baptistery, the Cappella delle Donne, a small cloister and a large cloister. The church, consecrated in 1563, has an octagonal dome and a Gothic Cappella di San Bartolomeo on its right side. The small cloister's upper gallery rests on 16 marble columns, and the large cloister has Tuscan forms.

The church was founded in 1297 by Bartolomeo Di Negro and served as a Carthusian monastery for centuries. The Ligurian Republic suppressed it in 1798, ending its role as a monastic community.

The Doria and Spinola chapels, built in 1472 and 1480, were demolished in the 19th century; only the San Bartolomeo chapel, remodelled in 1473 by Bernardino di Negro, survives. Its sculpted portals mark the transition from Gothic to Renaissance in Genoese art, and one altar is now in the Victoria and Albert Museum.

Visitors can explore the baptistery, cloisters, and various chapels decorated with artworks. Plan your visit according to regular opening hours and wear appropriate clothing when entering the sacred spaces.

In the Chapel of Saint Bartholomew hangs a Crowning with Thorns attributed to Caravaggio, painted between 1605 and 1610 and rediscovered by Piero Donati, superintendent of Liguria's historic and artistic heritage. It is thought to be a version of the Prato painting made for Massimo Massimi, of which another copy is in Vienna's Kunsthistorisches Museum.
