We present a study of the host galaxy of the Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) of May 52006 (GRB 060505). The host is spatially resolved in both imaging data and in along slit spectrum including the GRB site. We find the galaxy to be a Sbcspiral, which is unusual for a long GRB host galaxy. The site of the GRB isconsiderably different from the rest of the galaxy with intense star formation,low metallicity and a young age. This suggest a massive stellar progenitorrather than a merger of compact objects which has been suggested based on thethe relatively short duration of T_90=4s for the prompt emission.

The spatially resolved host of GRB 060505 and implications for the nature of the progenitor
