    The Zytglogge in Berne is the UNESCO monument you can urinate on.

      Rather amazingly, set into its outside wall on the street is a pissoir. The “Herren WC” sign is a little misleading, as there is neither WATER nor a CLOSET."

      How wonderful!

        This is actually misinformation and misleading. The sign says "WC 'a man' pissoir". like on the picture.

        My link was for the illustration.

          I don’t know what “Herren” means, but WC stands for water closet. It sounds to me like there isn’t any running water or stalls.

            Herren means “men”. “WC” means toilets, the place, in this case. I get the pun but it’s not the best one.

            The water is accessible on the front by the way.

              I think I must not understand what the pun is.
