A self-cleaning toilet has a lower cup-shaped body delimiting an emptying opening connected to a draining pipe, and a filling opening, opposite to the emptying opening and facing a user of the self-cleaning toilet. The lower cup-shaped body has at least one side wall delimiting, with an upper edge thereof, at least one portion of the filling opening, and delimiting at least partially a gap interposed between an inner surface and an outer surface, the gap forming, with the at least one side wall a first basin adapted to contain a volume of fluid. The first basin leads to both the inner surface and the outer surface and is connected to a fluid supply duct adapted to convey a volume of cleaning fluid into the first basin so that when the cleaning fluid received in the first basin overflows, it cleans both the inner and outer surfaces.
