An overview is given of the results obtained about Galactic Structure studies towards the Galactic Centre from star counts .
The results indicate the presence of an old metal-rich population ( Z = 0.005 – 0.08 ; t = 13 – 15 Gyr ) , presumably the old Galactic Bulge .
In addition , a younger , less metal-rich population was found ( Z = 0.005 – 0.03 ; t = 8 – 9 Gyr ) , likely related to the tri-axial bar found in other studies .
In Baade ’ s Window a ratio bulge/bar stars of approximately 1/2 was obtained from star counts .
