The parish church in Sovinjak was built in 1927 on the site of an earlier church dating from 1556, while its bell tower dates from 1557. Bartolići is one of the settlements belonging to the Župa sv. Jurja mučenika in Sovinjak; the parish was founded in 1645. Also in the vicinity, the Church of St Rocco dates from the 15th century and contains a fresco by Domenico of Udine from 1571.
