The Basilica of San Bartalameo is a titular basilica located on the island of Tiberina.

The church was erected in 1000 by order of Otto III on the site, where the ancient temple of Aesculapius used to be. Throughout the history of its existence, the temple was rebuilt several times, the most large-scale reconstruction work was carried out in 1583 after the flood. The work was supervised by the architect Martino Longhi Jr.

The church acquired its present appearance in 1624. In 1720-1739, restoration work was carried out inside the building, after which the interior design acquired the baroque style.
