It is a 40 m high statue, situated on the rocky side of the Danube, between Eselnița and Dubova communes, Mehedinți County. Place of sculpture is in Danube Gorge area (Mraconia Bay), on the left side of the Danube, where the river is deeper reaching 120 meters.

The statue represents Decebal, the last king of Dacia and is carved into a rock. Decebal (87-106) came on the throne at a time when the expansionary tendencies of the Roman Empire, which has established the border on Danube, were high-speeded.

It is the tallest sculpture in stone from Europe, has only six meters lower than statue of Liberty, but eight more than monument of Christ in Rio de Janeiro, and about ten meters higher than legendary Colossus of Rhodes. Businessman and historian Iosif Constantin Dragan was the one who promoted and financed the idea of this work during 1994-2004.

Decebal figure carved in stone is situated at the mouth of the Mraconia River in Danube and can be seen from DN 57, which connects Eselnița to Dubova and also can be seen from Danube.
