10 Incredible Statues From Around The World You Never Knew Existed
Decebalus, Romania
As the tallest rock relief statue in Europe, this statue is a must-see. Standing 141 feet (42.9 meters) tall, the statue shows the head of Decebalus, the last king of Dacia (found in modern-day Romania), who fought to preserve his country's independence.
While the statue appears somewhat ancient, it is actually quite new, having been recently completed in 2004 after ten years of work. The head of Decebalus looks solemnly over a river in the Kazan Gorge. To see it up close, visitors will have to take a short boat ride, but it is possible to view the statue from a nearby parking lot, although the view won't be nearly as good.
