We explore the bright central diffuse objects of the closest visible giant HII regions 30 Dor (LMC) and NGC 3603 (Galaxy), with the aid of CCD imagery in 1′ seeing. Both central objects are interpreted as dense cluster cores composed of normal stars with masses ranging up to ≈ 100 M⊙. Each object appears to contain at least one close massive binary. Being significantly denser, the core of NGC 3603 seems to be dynamically more evolved than the core of 30 Dor.
