Bartolići is one of the settlements in the parish of Župa sv. Jurja mučenika in Sovinjak, founded in 1645. The parish church in Sovinjak was built in 1927 on the site of an older church dating from 1556. The bell tower next to the church dates from 1557. The parish’s founding date and the church’s construction history are two distinct historical points of reference.

A nearby church dedicated to Saint Roch dates from the 15th century. Behind its altar is a fresco of Saint Roch, painted by Domenico from Udine in 1571. The church of Saint Helena in Sovinjska Brda has been restored. The work included repairing the roof, renovating the interior walls, replacing the windows and reconstructing the altar.

The nearby Motovunska šuma forest is designated as ecological network site HR2000637 and is biologically significant.
