Built in the sixteenth century on the site of a medieval farmhouse and then largely remodeled in the eighteenth century, the palace was a vacation spot and administrative headquarters for the affairs of the Toppo family. Once the family became extinct, the building passed into public hands and today belongs to the Municipality of Travesio.

The entrance is through a gate, on whose architrave the date 1543 and a rather enigmatic Latin welcome phrase are engraved, which apparently invites the good to stay out and let only the bad in (in reality, it is a play on words: the meaning is the opposite). From the courtyard, various possibilities open up: straight ahead you enter the palace; to the left, you access the noble chapel of San Girolamo, which among other things preserves a statue of Saint Lucia in painted stone; to the right, another door gives access to a fenced green area, almost a private garden.

Inside the palace, in the atrium, there are two frescoes of popular sacred art from the eighteenth century, removed from the facades of crumbling buildings after the 1976 earthquake; on the ground floor, there are three side rooms, now used for reception. The first floor is dominated by two contiguous central halls, which often host art and photography exhibitions. The second floor, finally, is structured with a single large space, nowadays used to host conferences and presentations.
