Using observations from the Hubble Space Telescope archive, color-magnitude diagrams have been constructed for globular Cluster 4 in the Fornax dSph galaxy and its surrounding field. These diagrams extend below the main-sequence turnoffs and have yielded measurements of the ages of the populations. In particular, from our analysis Cluster 4 shows [Fe/H] ≃ 2.0, a value significantly lower than that derived for the Fornax field ([Fe/H] ≃ −1.40). Putting our results in the frame of the findings of Buonanno et al. (1998) for the Fornax clusters 1, 2, 3 and 5, a global analysis of the properties of Fornax stellar populations has been performed.
