  We present preliminary findings from the photometric survey "Yes, Magellanic
Clouds Again" (YMCA, PI: V. Ripepi), covering 110 square degrees in the outer
regions of the Magellanic Clouds (MCs), a pair of interacting galaxies and the
most massive dwarf satellites of the Milky Way. %The survey achieves a notable
photometric depth, allowing us to resolve faint, old stellar populations. Among
the key results, we discovered four star clusters (SCs) within the Large
Magellanic Cloud (LMC) exhibiting ages within the so-called "age gap", a period
deemed so far devoid of SCs. Additionally, we unveiled an ancient stellar
system associated with the LMC, featuring structural properties in between the
globular clusters and the ultra-faint dwarf galaxies of the Local Group. These
discoveries significantly contribute to our understanding of the MCs' evolution
and their complex interaction history.
