We present a five-field, six-color WFPC2 mosaic of 30 Doradus which constitutes the most detailed ever optical image of a starburst region. With the aid of NICMOS, STIS, and CO data we discuss the most recent star formation history in the region and its relationship with the original and present structure of the parent molecular cloud.
