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

The church features Renaissance architecture with marble decorations, two cloisters, and multiple chapels adorned with religious artworks and frescoes.

Established in 1297 by Bartolomeo Di Negro, the church operated as a Carthusian monastery until 1798 when the Ligurian Republic ordered its suppression.

The Doria and Spinola families commissioned numerous artworks during the 15th century, including works by Vincenzo Foppa for the monastery.

Visitors can explore the baptistery containing a 15th-century marble relief, the cloisters, and various chapels during regular opening hours.

The church houses a collection of paintings attributed to Caravaggio and Giovanni Carlone, depicting scenes from Saint Bartholomew's life.
