This impressive statue was dug directly into the rock by a team of 12 climbers, coordinated by sculptor Florin Cotarcea. The artistic creation represents the face of the Dacian king Decebal and is the largest sculpture made in nature in Europe, with a height of 55 meters and a width of 25 meters. For this impressive work was done for 10 years, between 1994 and 2004, being financially supported by the Romanian businessman Iosif Constantin Drăgan, who could see his work completed 4 years before his death in 2008.
