We review our recent studies of the globular cluster system of NGC 5128.First, we have obtained low-resolution, high signal-to-noise spectroscopy of 72globular clusters using Gemini-S/GMOS to obtain the ages, metallicities, andthe level of alpha enrichment of the metal-poor and metal-rich globular clustersubpopulations. Second, we have explored the rotational signature and velocitydispersion of the galaxy's halo using over 560 globular clusters with radialvelocity measurements. We have also compared the dependence of these propertieson galactocentric distance and globular cluster age and metallicity. Usingglobular clusters as tracer objects, we have analyzed the mass, and M/L ratioof NGC 5128. Last, we have measured the structural parameters, such ashalf-light radii, of over 570 globular clusters from a superb 1.2 square degreeMagellan/IMACS image. We will present the findings of these studies and discussthe connection to the formation and evolution of NGC 5128.
