  We report CCD photometric observations of the globular cluster NGC 5897, in
the Johnson system filters B, V , R, and I. With the values for these
magnitudes we obtain various colour indices and produce several
colour-magnitude diagrams. We present eight colour-magnitude diagrams: V vs B-V
, B vs B-V , V vs V-I, I vs V-I, R vs R-I, I vs R-I, V vs V-R, and R vs V-R. In
all of these diagrams we can clearly see the Giant Branch, the Horizontal
Branch and the beginning of the Main Sequence. To the left of the Main Sequence
turn-off point we detect a somewhat large number of Blue Straggler stars. We
determine the mean value of the visual magnitude of the HB as $16.60 \pm 0.46$.
This value is fainter than the value found by other authors.
