The Sculptor Galaxy NGC253 is a nearby barred Sc galaxy seen nearly edge-on and it has been the target of the Science Verification (SV) for the new ESO survey telescopes VST and VISTA: SV have been defined by teams of astronomers from ESO and the community, including the Italian National Institute for Astrophysics. On the behalf of the VISTA and VST SV Team, I will present in this paper the first results on the NGC253 structure by the new NIR VISTA and optical VST images. These data have emphasized the huge potentiality of the VISTA and VST telescopes to study the structure of galaxies with a detail and accuracy comparable to higher class telescopes, i.e. VLT and HST, with the advantage of the large Field of View (FoV): i) the high angular resolution let to detect and study the sub-structures towards the nuclear regions; ii) the large FoV let to ''correlate'' the inner features to the structure of the outer galaxy disk and to map the surface brightness and colors out to the very faint outskirts.
