The Alcazaba is a palatial fortification in Málaga, Spain. It was built by the Hammudid Moorish dynasty in the early 11th century. The Alcazaba is built on a hill in the centre of the city, overlooking the port, and comprises two walled enclosures. Adjacent to the entrance of the Alcazaba are remnants of a Roman theatre dating to the 1st century BCE, which are undergoing restoration. Some of the Roman-era materials were reused in the Moorish construction of the Alcazaba. It was formerly connected to the city ramparts which formed a third defensive wall but only two inner walls remain. The first, built around the topography of the hill, completely encloses the second inner area and is dotted with defensive towers. Ferdinand and Isabella captured Málaga from the Moors after the Siege of Málaga (1487), one of the longest sieges in the Reconquista.

The Judería de Málaga is the sector of the historic center of Málaga, Spain where during the Middle Ages the Jewish community lived. It is located between Calle San Agustín and Calle Alcazabilla in the vicinity of the citadel. In 2008, the city of Málaga ceded a plot of land of some 450 square meters to the reconstituted modern-day Jewish community on which it was hoped to build a community centre, synagogue and Sephardic museum. So far, financial considerations have impeded the start of construction.

During the late nineteenth century, architect Louis Henri Sullivan (1856–1924) created a new and honest expression in the design of buildings, inspiring a genre known as Chicago School of Architecture. While many other architects adhered to fanciful historical styles which were very popular at the time, Sullivan created buildings that expressed their structural design, relying only upon simple and organic ornamentation to embellish their facades. The Chicago Stock Exchange, designed by Sullivan with his partner, Dankmar Adler, was widely considered an architectural masterpiece. Constructed in 1893, the thirteen-story building incorporated Sullivan’s signature ornamentation that combined geometric forms with expressions of natural foliage.

In the 1960s and 1970s, many beautiful nineteenth century buildings in Chicago were demolished to make way for new development. In an effort to inspire preservation efforts, photographer Richard Nickel (1928–1972) began to document old buildings as they fell into decay or were slated for demolition. As Nickel struggled to find support to save monuments like the Chicago Stock Exchange Building, he asserted: "Great architecture has only two natural enemies: water and stupid men." Sadly, Nickel died in 1972 when a staircase collapsed on him inside the Chicago Stock Exchange Building. Despite a strong public movement opposing the demolition of the architectural masterpiece, the building was razed in 1972. After the demolition, the Art Institute of Chicago acquired the building’s terra cotta arch, along with several other original fragments. Using a gift from the Heller Foundation, the Art Institute installed the iconic arch in a small plaza just northeast of the museum in 1977. Around the same time, the Art Institute opened a reconstructed version of Adler & Sullivan’s Stock Exchange Trading Room as part of the museum’s East Wing Addition.
