It reminds me of the final pages of H.P. Lovecraft's short story "The Rats in the Walls".

It doesn't end well.

That was the old byzantine cistern. It was the water supply for the old city. Pretty cool architecture. One of the places we went for our field history of Istanbul class when I was stationed at Cakmakli in the 1980’s.
