We present a color magnitude diagram (CMD) in the V and I bands reaching ∼ 4 magnitudes below the turn off (TO) for the galactic globular (?) cluster Pal 1. A comparison with other well-observed clusters and theoretical models suggests that Pal 1 has an age of 8±2 Gyrs, which would make it the youngest globular cluster of our Galaxy.
