| Abstract: | In this paper we discuss the characteristics of the stellar content of the galactic bulge excluding the stars within a few
parsec from the galactic center. The bulge clusters and the field stars are comparedto the disk population. A scenario with
a flattened bulge extending toabout 3–4 Kpc from the galactic center is presented. There is evidencefor an old bulge stellar
population, decoupled from the disk.
