  Sambodhi Chaithya (also sometimes called Buddha Jayanthi Chaithya) is a stupa, a Buddhist shrine, built with reinforced concrete. The stupa is located in Colombo Harbour, Sri Lanka.
  It was designed by renowned Sri Lankan engineer A. N. S. Kulasinghe and construction began in 1956 to commemorate the Sambuddhatva jayanthi by the Colombo Port Commission and completed by the Colombo Port Authority. Built on a platform supported by two interlocking arches, the stupa is place above the Marine Drive at the entrance of the Colombo Harbour. This main road leading to the harbour has since been renamed Chaithya Road after the stupa . The walkway has 123 steps.

  It has a great view of the harbor and is a vista point of Colombo. The temple needs constant maintaining tho. The inner chamber of the stupa has drawings of its history.

  There's an amazing view up there. Yes you have to climb a lot of stairs to get there but it's totally worth it.
  
  Do a foot trip from Galleface to the Maritime Museum and here. Good for a less sunny day.

  I did't visit the tempel but climbed only to the staor tower. Very good place to observe the harbour. You habe a good overview over the old a the new part of the trading harbour. As it is a holy building you have to leave your shoes at the floor before you start to climb the stair.
