Abstract: | The FORS Deep Field project is a multi-colour, multi-object spectroscopical investigation of a ∼ 7′ × ′' region near the south
galactic pole based mostly on observations carried out with the FORS instruments attached to the VLT telescopes. It includes
the QSO Q 0103-260 (z = 3.36). The goal of this study is to improve our understanding of the formation and evolution of galaxies
in the young Universe. In this contribution, the photometric observations are presented. In particular, a combined B and I
selected UBgRIJKs photometric catalog of 8753 objects in the FDF is presented and its content is briefly described. The formal
50% completeness limits for point sources, derived from the coadded images, are 25.64, 27.69, 26.86, 26.68, 26.37, 23.60 and
21.57in U, B, g, R, I, J and Ks, respectively.
