The Statue of Decebal in Deva is widely regarded as a central social hub, though reviewers offer mixed opinions on its aesthetic and historical value. Many visitors enjoy the surrounding square for its abundance of cafes and restaurants, describing it as a peaceful place to meet friends for drinks or pizza. The musical fountain is a frequently mentioned highlight, especially during the evening light and music shows, although some notes suggest the fountain is currently in need of maintenance. A few reviewers point out a 'Communist ambiance' in the square's architecture, which some find disappointing while others see it as part of the city's character. Despite some concerns about the monument being slightly neglected by authorities, it remains a popular and worthwhile stop for those in the city center. Overall, it is praised for its lively yet relaxed atmosphere, particularly on hot summer days.
