  In this contribution, first results of deep VLT photometry (V,I) in the
central region of the Hydra I galaxy cluster are presented. Many star clusters
have been identified not only around several early-type galaxies, but also in
the intra-cluster field, as far as 250 kpc from the cluster center. Outside the
bulges of the central galaxies NGC 3311 and NGC 3309, the intra-cluster
globular cluster system is dominated by blue clusters whose spatial
distribution is similar to that of the (newly discovered) dwarf galaxies in
Hydra I. The color distributions of globular clusters around NGC 3311 and NGC
3309 are multimodal, with a sharp blue peak and a slightly broader distribution
of the red cluster population.
