It is situated on the Riviera di Ponente, occupying the lower part of the Val Steria on the western side of the Riviera dei Fiori in the province of Imperia. Together with other seven towns and villages it is part of the district of the Dianese Gulf.

The church of San Bartolomeo situated in the original village of the same name and from which the town gets its name and also seat of the Town Hall. The original structure dates back to the middle ages ( it is thought to have been founded by Benedictine monks), but the tremendous earthquake of 23 February 1887, which traumatized the entire Gulf, erased forever the paramount architectural style except for the XIV century belfry. However,t he present building goes back to an earlier period before the telluric phenomenon.
Inside are preserved valuable works of art among which a marble baptismal font of 1483. Among the paintings there is the polyptych of San Bartolomeo and the saints by Raffaello and Giulio de Rossi, 1562, as well as two paintings of the Virgin Mary.
