What is the difference between stupa and a temple?

A stupa is a mound-shaped object (the word means "heap") which contains sacred Buddhist artifacts, such as the ashes of Buddhist monks or other holy relics. Stupas are generally outside, and one would stop to pray in front of them, as the location of a stupa marks a place that is holy.
