The face of King Decebal is a 55 m high basorelief [1] located on the rocky shore of the Danube, between the towns of Eşelniţa and Dubova, near the town of Orşova, Romania. Basorelief represents Decebal, the last king of Dacia, and is carved in a rock. It is the highest stone carving in Europe. The businessman and protocronist historian Iosif Constantin Dragan was the one who promoted and funded the idea of this work carried out between 1994 and 2004.
Decebal's face is 55 m high and 25 m wide.

The place of the sculpture is near the town of Orşova, in the area of Cataracts at Cazanele Mici (Mraconia Bay), on the left bank of the Danube, where the depth of the river is the highest: 120 meters.

Some physiomic dimensions of the face are:

eye length: 4.3 meters
nose length: 7 meters
nose width: 4 meters.
The idea of ​​building this basorelief belonged to Romanian businessman Iosif Constantin Dragan, an amateur historian, and lasted 10 years (1994-2004) for the 12 climbing sculptors to finish it, his realization costing Dragan, over one million dollars.

Compared to the sculptures made on Mount Rushmore, which lasted 14 years (1927-1941), with over 300 sculptor-sculptors working on the project, King Decebal's face took place for ten years and 12 people worked to its realization.

The execution of this work took place under the leadership of the Romanian sculptor Florin Cotarcea, realizing it despite the danger represented by heights, heat and vipers. On the Morton River bay, where this largest stone sculpture in Europe is located, it can be reached by water only by boat. For the modeling of the rock, over one ton of dynamite was used.

The execution of the work began in the summer of 1994, with the deforestation of trees that rocked the rock. Then went on cleaning the rocks, massive rocks that endangered people's lives. No heavy machinery could be used, all tools being transported by boat and bags of 40-50 pounds in the back.

The connection to the pontoon was provided by two transmitter stations. From the base of the rock to the scaffold, climbers-sculptors had to climb for half an hour. He worked in two 6-hour shifts: from 7.30 to 13.30 and from 13.30 to 19.30. The works took place between March and October of each year. An equally heavy and risky operation was the manipulation of scaffolding.

The working tools used by climbing sculptors were the classic ones: the pneumatic hammer, the spade and the baroque. During the summer, the rock was hot in the sun, making working conditions almost unbearable.

Due to these difficult working conditions, several accidents also occurred. A team of five people working on scaffolding fell a few meters away as a result of the pulling of two support pins from the supporting cable mounted around the cliff. Fortunately, the climbers did not suffer serious injuries. Also, one of the climbers was bitten by a viper hiding at a point of support, but an antiviperine serum was immediately injected.

As a result of the tremors, but also of the rock that began to crumble, Decebal's nose (which was seven meters tall) cracked and was in danger of falling apart and falling. The huge block of stone was given up, a large part of Decebal's nose being dynamite for more safety. The king's nose was remodeled and reinforced with iron and cement reinforcement.

The construction of Decebal's face was completed in 2004.
