Chicago officials have designated the arch marking an entry point into the city’s Little Village neighborhood
“It means the world,” resident Cristy Calderon said. “Growing up, it felt like it was the forgotten place in the city. I think having a landmark in our community is really going to bring people in and show what we’re really about.”
The arch was built in 1990 as a show of community pride and Mexican Americans' contributions to the city. Architect Adrián Lozano designed the piece based on arches often found in Mexican communities. A bronze clock gifted by former president of Mexico Carlos Salinas de Gortari was installed at the top of the arch a year later.
