Sambodhi Chaithya is a Buddhist temple with a very unique and interesting architecture. It stands in the port of Colombo on two diagonally crossing concrete arches that are 11 floors high.
The white stupa is bell-shaped, as opposed to the dome shape more commonly used in modern Sri Lankan architecture, and stands on a square single-story platform balanced at the center of the arches and supported by four struts. The stupa alone is 47 m (154 feet) tall, including the conical spire and the jeweled spire at the top.
