Where is Preah Sakyamoni Chedi actually located?
The landmark called Preah Sakyamoni Chedi is at Phnom Oudong, Cambodia, the former royal capital north of Phnom Penh. It is not the stupa inside Phnom Penh's Silver Pagoda complex, so those two locations should not be conflated.

When was the present Preah Sakyamoni Chedi built?
References commonly date the present relic stupa at Phnom Oudong to 2002. That makes it a modern monument within a much older former royal capital. [Visit to Cambodia](https://www.visittocambodia.com/2025/10/phnom-oudong-guide-to-cambodias-royal.html)
