Abundances of 21 chemical elements have been determined in three red giants in Terzan 7 using high-resolution spectra obtained with the UVES spectrograph on the ESO 8.2 m Kueyen telescope. The mean [Fe/H]= –0.61 ±0.07. The relative elemental abundance ratios indicate a close similarity of Terzan 7 to its host galaxy.
